The Challenge: Week 1


The results of our first week of the Bartel Challenge are in, and so far it's an exact tie. I have lost 8 pounds and Jonathan has lost 16, but we're going with percentage of weight lost, and when you run those numbers we're exactly even. Isn't that cute?

We are both really happy. We haven't done anything crazy this week, and we hope to not do anything crazy in the future. That way this can be sustainable and as they say, a lifestyle change rather than some crash diet/exercise thing that disappears. We've gone out to eat. We've indulged a little (hello, GIANT piece of chocolate raspberry cake with ganache at the baby shower this afternoon...). But we've also cooked at home a lot more, eaten smaller portions, and made it a point to move a little more. Nothing crazy, like I said.

Adios, 4% of me that I had a week ago. You will not be missed.
